... Regarding innovation, a hallmark of NCER and NCSER's training programs is their capacity to evolve to respond to needs in education research and education practice. For example, although ESRA charges IES with disseminating scientifically valid research, growing evidence indicates that dissemination of research evidence does not always translate into the uptake and use of research evidence; practitioners and policy makers often require significant engagement with researchers, knowledge brokers, and other agents to use research in a manner that changes policy, practice, and student performance (e.g., Finnigan & Daly, 2014; Coburn, Honig, & Stein, 2009)

... For example, in 2020, a Methods Training on selecting, implementing, and evaluating evidence-based interventions was awarded to build the capacity of researchers working in or with high-need school districts to use evidencebased interventions effectively to improve student and school outcomes. Such pursuits of improvement and innovation should continue in earnest, as the nation will continue to face many challenges to ensuring equitable educational outcomes for all learners.

... It is reasonable to suggest that the training provided by NCER and NCSER has not only changed the way that basic and applied education research are conducted, but also has changed the way that scientists are trained in the broad and interdisciplinary field of education research. This reciprocal relationship is critical for the advancement of science and for the overall health and well-being of the field of education.
